Different Levels

Training in indexing can be provided for different groups of people and at different levels of complexity: freelance indexers (the beginners, the newly qualified, the experienced), technical writers, and editorial staff in publishing houses. Delivery can take place through attendance-based courses and events, and through distance-learning materials (print and electronic); all forms need to be supplemented by private study.

Learner Interactions

Distance learning describes a wide range of instructional-learning activities, instructional delivery modalities, and learner interactions characterized by some distance between the teacher and the learner, and mediated by a variety of technological tools (Schlosser & Simonson, 2002; Tiene & Ingram, 2001). Learners can interact with instruction at any time and in any place, such as the workplace, school, a community center, or in their homes (Presby, 2004; Simonson, Smaldino, Albright & Zvacek, 2003). The tools available for the delivery and access of learning materials contribute in large measure to the kind of experiences that learners have with distance learning.

This paper reports the findings from a survey on the demand among health education/promotion specialists for postgraduate professional study at Diploma or Masters level by distance learning methods. The purpose of the survey was to clarify perceived benefits and disadvantages of this flexible approach to study, along with information about appropriate structure and content of distance learning materials, student support systems, access to resources and predicted employer support. The results suggest that potential students among health education/promotion specialists throughout Scotland strongly favour the introduction of distance learning, with the need to negotiate adequate support (from employers) for such study being clearly recognised.
